After taking home the gold in four events at the state swim meet last month, the All-Greater Houston boys swimmer of the year took a big sigh of relief. With plans to attend Stanford next year, Edwards' swimming career is far from over.

Q: What is next for you?

A: I am going to Stanford and majoring in mechanical engineering. I would like to make it to the Olympics, but I don't know if I will be at that level. It has been a goal of mine for a long time, though.

Q: How did you decide on Stanford?

A: I had four top schools on my list, and they were all really different. But once I went on my visit to Stanford, I knew that it was where I wanted to go.

Q: What is your best memory from this season?

A: At state, after finishing my events and knowing I won, I was able to just sit there, and I felt like I accomplished something. It's hard to explain, but there was a lot of relief. It was a nice moment.

Q: Growing up, who was your favorite swimmer?

A: I never really paid attention, actually. I grew up without cable, so when my friends would talk about swimmers, I never knew who they were talking about.
